The Pack contains associated resources for the learning experience, typically in the form of articles and videos. There is a teacher Pack (with only teacher information) and a student Pack (which contains only student information). As a teacher, you can toggle between both to see everything.
Here are the teacher pack items for Russia and the Republics: Government and Economy:
Overview In this experience, students are introduced to the fall of the Soviet Union through a song. Then they explore more about the events of 1991. Next, they learn about the presidency of Vladimir Putin. Finally, in small groups, students research the current government and economy of one of the former Russian states and compare and contrast that state with others in the Russian Federation. Students will collaborate in small groups for scene 4. You will assign each small group one of the 15 countries that make up the Russian Federation: Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Moldova, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Armenia, or Tajikistan for further research. Objectives:
From 1922–1991, the United Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR) consisted of 15 states all under the central communist government in Moscow. But in 1991, everything changed. In this experience, you will trace the history of the fall of the Soviet Union and the governmental and economic consequences.
Objectives:
Use the following table to record three facts you learned from the video.
